Super basic Idea… It makes an instance of the browser that is just for one Site, with it’s own name and shortcut you can stick in the Dock. I think it also tweaks the search form of the Browser to be only for that domain by default too… Not much else, according to this video.
I instinctively try to use Apple-Tab to switch between Open Browser Widows all the time, and since Apple+`(the key above Tab) switches between the open windows of the app you’re in, I have preferred multiple windows over tabbed browsing in many contexts for that very reason.
I could see using this to have a WordPress Browser, allowing me to tab back and fourth between my reading and my writing.
What would make this really cool, is if you could map buttons in the Web App to Commands in the File Menu, Edit Menu etc… I love Keyboeard Shortcuts and would love it if I could bo things like Apple+B for Bold in WordPress’ wysiwyg… Or have Apple+S save the current draft/post.
Anyways… this is another baby-step toward better convergence of the Online and the Offline. More on that later.
